Hi, a few months ago, I had the same letter drop onto my doormat. It was a complete shock as I hadn't done anything wrong. I wouldn't go to the interview without a solicitor, as I've heard how intimidating these interviews can be. I'm so glad I did, as they try to twist your words. A month ago I received a letter from the DWP stating they had dropped the case.
